Chapter 766: The Promotion Plan of Self-Generated Magic Physique
“Whoa… it really came out.” Ying Shiqian followed us out of the arena. Earlier, she felt like everyone was staring at her wherever she went; it was a sensation she had never experienced before!
“What’s wrong? Still afraid the arena will keep you stuck?” I asked with a smile.
“Well… after all, we didn’t expect you to say something like that in such an occasion. It felt like we were opposing everyone!”
“Relax— the arena is just a free and open competitive platform. I merely announced that Tan Han won’t participate in challenges anymore, also explaining the reason and… giving a little threat to those still harboring ideas,” I said casually.
“So Little Tan should be free from those guys bothering her now, right? Xiao Han, you’re really amazing!”
“Who said that? Isn’t Tan Han supposed to come to my lab to be my assistant?” I shrugged, stating it as a matter of course.
“Eh? Isn’t that just an excuse, Xiao Han?!” Ying Shiqian seemed to have heard something incredible. “Wait… Xiao Han, do you really have that experiment?”
“Yes, I’ve been conducting experiments all along.”
And there were quite a few labs. After becoming a teaching assistant, I transformed the villa given to me into a semi-laboratory, and the basement was also remodeled into a private lab. Later, the Academy Head approved a lab for me to develop the Great Spellbook.
Then I went to the Expanding Realm to set up the Wanlian Main Network Tree laboratory, and subsequently my clones established Extraordinary Laboratories in various shelters, guiding people in the Expanding Realm to understand the Extraordinary Domain, hoping they would develop their own Extraordinary systems.
After that, I started research on Self-Generated Magic in the Expanding Realm, creating a whole bunch of things. Eventually, in the witch academy’s experimental area, the Academy Head granted me a formal laboratory.
So, I really was very busy; I didn’t even have time to go to many places and had become quite the hands-off manager.
In the Wanlian Main Network Tree laboratory, I left one of my clones behind, and I rarely visited the lab focused on researching the Great Knowledge Seed and Knowledge Seed cultivation.
My main focus now was on the Self-Generated Magic topic laboratory.
“By the way, Tan Han, you would be willing to become my assistant, right?” I turned to look at Tan Han and smiled, as I hadn’t yet explicitly spoken about this due to time constraints.
“I naturally have no issue with that.” Tan Han surprisingly didn’t directly refuse this time, just nodding a bit in acceptance. “You probably had this idea from the very start, right? Can you tell me about that experiment? If I’m not mistaken, it’s called… Self-Generated Magic?”
“Yes, the Self-Generated Magic topic experiment.”
“Eh? Topic? Is there this branch among the witch topics?” the Store Manager asked from the side.
As someone who graduated years ago, she naturally understood how common experiments were for advanced students. After reaching the fourth year, most choose their mentors and follow them into various experiments.
Either that, or you’re not motivated, and the teacher ignores you, just hanging a name.
But if a student conducts their own experiment and research, it’s either for graduation, or… to advance to an Extraordinary Witch.
And Shali didn’t think Xiao Han was the kind of person who only aimed for graduation.
“It’s not about advancing to an Extraordinary Witch’s topic, but a more special application technique topic aimed at promotion and popularization.”
“Sounds very impressive~ It’s on a completely different level than the elemental manipulation topic I used for graduation…” Senior Ying Shiqian remarked from the side. “So please, Xiao Han, introduce what this Self-Generated Magic is!”
“Self-Generated Magic is a special physique talent, commonly found among those who have advanced to Extraordinary Witches, meaning after advancing to an Extraordinary Witch, one automatically possesses this physique talent.”
“Eh? The physique talent possessed by Extraordinary Witches?!”
“Yes, my current experiment attempts to allow individuals to have this talent even before advancing to Extraordinary, since this talent can provide immense convenience and powerful accompanying abilities to prospective witches even before they advance.”
After I finished speaking, I intentionally observed the expressions of the Store Manager and Ying Shiqian. They didn’t show much confusion; it seemed my explanation was considered quite normal.
I naturally didn’t elaborate further, nor did I discuss how difficult it was or what it represented.
Because that would require me to spend even more time explaining.
“You should know that the number of magic sources we prospective witches can have cannot exceed the limit of ten thousand, right?”
“I remember this. Isn’t it the carrying limit of the Earth Vein Shackles?” the Store Manager stated, as she was a veteran who once had reached the limit of ten thousand magic sources in the academy.
Magic sources are a special equivalent within the Witch Academy; their value never diminishes.
Thus, many clubs hoard magic sources. The reason why magic sources haven’t reached a saturation level in the academy is mainly because many clubs stockpile them. The academy encourages this, as the academy’s development over time has created a certain understanding between the academy and the clubs, with the clubs becoming an integral part of students’ self-development.
“Indeed, ten thousand is the carrying limit of the Earth Vein Shackles, and we need to use them to carry magic sources and spellbooks because we ourselves cannot bear these things. However, once we possess the Self-Generated Magic physique talent, our bodies can directly carry magic sources, bypassing the limit of ten thousand and possessing even more!”
“What! This!” Upon hearing my explanation, the Store Manager, being particularly sensitive to this, reacted strongly.
She had once touched the threshold of ten thousand magic sources; young and willful, she had tried repeatedly, but the result was that no one could break this limit!
So if those senior students knew about this ability, they would really go crazy, as they were stuck at the threshold of ten thousand and didn’t even have the qualifications to touch the “Book of All Laws.”
Those senior students and club members looked at so many magic sources but could not use them—who wouldn’t feel anxious?
Everyone wants to take a step further!
In fact, this is probably what instructors hope for as well; after all, if you want to take a step further, then… you can choose to advance to Extraordinary!
Simply having a quantity of magic sources set as levels is meaningless. On the path of power, “Extraordinary” is the only level threshold.
Even the so-called “Holy Realm” is merely a man-made defined level, so the term “from Extraordinary to Holy” places Extraordinary in front, while the Holy Realm is so widely recognized by lives because this level is structured on top of the threshold of Extraordinary, along with other reasons.
“Alright, Store Manager—don’t be so shocked. While this may be crucial for many people, for me, this is just a topic for an experiment. This physique also comes with many other benefits, like increasing magic affinity, increasing magic recovery capability, etc. So, Tan Han, do you want to give it a try?”
“If it’s really as you said, then it’s an experiment I can’t refuse… but… am I truly qualified to be your assistant?” Tan Han, after hearing this, was naturally very shaken; it would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved.
But she was also well aware of the gap between herself and Xiao Han, and she hadn’t had any experience in topic experiments. It wasn’t that she didn’t dare to try, but she feared holding back the so-called progress.
“Saying you’re an assistant is more like saying you’re a little white mouse? Or rather, you are the main subject of the experiment. Our experiment is almost in the later stages; actually, it only lacks a completely successful case.” I explained bluntly.
“Then why choose me?”
“Well… I probably thought you were very suitable when I first saw you. Plus, it helps you a bit. You know, I don’t have many acquaintances in the academy, and even fewer friends; how about it?” I looked at Tan Han and inquired, but my tone didn’t feel like a request for consent, but rather a statement of fact.
“If you agree to be this little white mouse… I’ll take you to my lab. There, I’ll introduce you to some friends; they are all senior students and teaching assistants who, just like you, were persuaded by me to become little white mice. However, in the end, they helped me a lot, and now they are considered important members of the Self-Generated Magic topic laboratory.”
“Little Tan… hurry and agree.” At that moment, the Store Manager’s special thought process reacted the fastest. After all, she truly cared for Tan Han. If Tan Han could get to know such a group of senior students, and even teaching assistants, it was an excellent opportunity to expand her network and develop her connections!
This was far more promising than staying in her somewhat decaying club!
While they were whispering, information from my Great Knowledge Tree came through.
“I naturally agree…” Tan Han didn’t think too much and just agreed.
“I knew you wouldn’t refuse, so let’s agree on this for now—please wait a moment; I have a message to respond to.” I was satisfied with Tan Han’s answer, or rather, I never thought she would be the type to give up from the start.
How could she remain indifferent to an opportunity to become stronger right in front of her?
I glanced at the projection from the Great Knowledge Tree in front of me; the contact was Millien.
I knew it was her; she probably wanted to inquire about what had happened in the arena. After all, many people had witnessed my actions, and it would be widely spread across the academy networks afterward.
Millien naturally needed to communicate with me to see if I had other arrangements; otherwise, it would be a joke if she inadvertently caused trouble.
Once connected, Millien’s figure appeared before me. The current communication permission was private, as we had just left the arena, and the street was still quite crowded.
“Sorry, Sister Xiao Han, for the interruption.”
“It’s nothing; did you contact me suddenly regarding the arena?” I looked at Millien, who was visualized before me, diving straight into the topic without small talk.
“Yes, Sister Xiao Han, I just learned about this. I didn’t expect you to do that in the arena. Do we need our support team to cooperate with anything? This will definitely be widely spread on the academy networks, especially since you mentioned the concept of the Self-Generated Magic experiment…”
As the communicator with the Self-Generated Magic laboratory, Millien also knew some information regarding the Self-Generated Magic experiment through interactions with those senior students, and she had specifically gone to understand the related concepts, so she understood the significance of this experiment.
“It’s indeed somewhat troublesome; well… just don’t let things on the academy networks interfere with my real life. As for the concept of Self-Generated Magic, I need to promote it.”
“Promote… Self-Generated Magic?! Do we really need to do it like this?”
“Why? Do you think this ability shouldn’t be promoted? Or do you think this ability should be concealed and not widely spread?”
“No, that’s not what I mean!” Millien hurriedly waved her hands. She didn’t believe she had the ability to instruct Sister Xiao Han on what to do. Even though she had her own judgment, she wasn’t here to serve her own interests.
“The topic of the Self-Generated Magic physique talent was created from the very beginning for the purpose of popularization and mass promotion. Before this topic was born, I already had this physique through special means, so the only significance of this technique now is to allow others to also possess the same physique.”
“I understand…” Millien wisely refrained from asking for more details about this significance.
But she had her own guesses.
Perhaps Sister Xiao Han had already left their level of perception from the very beginning, standing at a higher position as an Extraordinary Witch (Little Witch) to interfere with the processes of the Witch Academy.
From the game mechanics of the Wanlian Main Network Tree that Sister Xiao Han created initially, evolving into “Power Network”, this model has now started to be promoted within the Witch Academy.
She had chosen to follow Sister Xiao Han back then, so she was well aware that the current Power Network was closely related to Sister Xiao Han, rather than something merely produced by the academy’s instructors as usually thought by average students.
Now it’s about Self-Generated Magic… this is going to change the graduation process at the Witch Academy!
Because she had heard Yi Rui talk about it in the laboratory, the Self-Generated Magic physique talent could allow people to reach the capabilities of Extraordinary Witches much earlier. It was likely a preparatory foundation for advancing to Extraordinary, making it much easier to graduate!
“I’m glad you understand, oh—by the way, although Self-Generated Magic ultimately requires promotion, it’s still not fully completed. However, there will be an order in the overall promotion, and once I master the technique for transforming the Self-Generated Magic physique, the sequence will ultimately be determined by me.”
“So…!” Hearing my statement, Millien quickly connected a lot of ideas!
Everyone wants to possess Self-Generated Magic, but there must be a sequence in its promotion, and there may even be a so-called small-scale testing phase, etc. If Sister Xiao Han masters the source of this technique, then doesn’t it mean!
“Help me refine my support team, or… let’s not call it a support team—it sounds too mindless. What I need is a group of pure individuals who have lofty aspirations and passions for the Extraordinary, untouched by family and club interests.”
“Something akin to Yi Rui and the others, not necessarily scholar types, targeting becoming Extraordinary Witches without wanting to fall into complacency; I won’t force whether they follow me or not.”
“Sister Xiao Han, do you need to find a group of like-minded individuals, those who will continuously strive upwards if given the opportunity?” Millien asked.
“That’s one way to put it, though that sounds a bit too emotional. But I believe you understand what I mean, right? Millien.”
“I understand!”
At this moment, Millien instinctively felt a bit trembling. She naturally understood what Sister Xiao Han meant; although this type of person leaned towards idealism, the one she was following had the strength, influence, and confidence to achieve it!
Of course… this also served as a reminder for her. If she wanted to continue following Sister Xiao Han, then… she also needed to become that kind of person!
Otherwise, she would soon be left behind… Once upon a time, she had only wanted to do something to prove herself, to rebel against her previous fate.
But under such a large tide, she suddenly realized that what had once served as motivation—her goals and dreams—now didn’t even compare to what she was doing. She… needed to work harder, become more ambitious, and let herself transform even more!
Once she realized this, she suddenly found that “advancing to an Extraordinary Witch,” which had never been among her options before, seemed to have become a hurdle she had to pass, and she was no longer as terrified as before.
It felt as if an invisible shackle had silently opened up for her…
